In addition to exciting treble repertoire, ACC performs major choral works. Last year they performed the Requiem by Mauric Durufle and this year will perform the Mass for the Children by John Rutter.
They will also perform a Service of Lessons and Carols in the tradition of King’s College together with the Community Church Chancel Choir and a symphony orchestra on Dec. 24 at 7 and 9 p.m. at the Community Church.
